Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide a labeler with a transfer unit that is easy to remove. The design allows the transfer unit to be moved to a comfortable position that can be handled by operators who are not very tall or physically unable to lift heavy loads. If the transfer unit is connected directly to a motor, it can be moved along with the motor to a position that is easier to handle.

Problems solved by technology

The gripper cylinder is equipped with peripheral gripping means, which are normally moved mechanically and are therefore comparatively heavy, a circumstance that also increases the weight of the gripper cylinder.
This is ergonomically unfavorable.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]FIGS. 1 to 3 show in a highly schematic representation a labeling machine 1 comprising a table plate 11, which is supported by a lower frame and on which a rotary table 11a, an infeed star wheel 5 and a discharge star wheel 6 are rotatably supported. A separating screw 7, which is oriented parallel to a conveyor belt 8a, is arranged upstream of the infeed star wheel 5, and an additional conveyor belt 8b is arranged downstream of the discharge star wheel 6. The conveyor belts 8a, 8b, the separating screw 7, the infeed and discharge star wheels 5, 6 as well as the rotary table 11a serve to convey containers 10, the containers shown here being bottles, past at least one labeler 2, 3, 4. In the embodiment shown, three such labelers having substantially identical structural designs are provided.

[0016]Each labeler 2, 3, 4 comprises an assembly housing 9, which is positioned on the table plate 11. The normal components of such labelers are arranged on the top of the assembly housing ...

Abstract

A labeler for a labeling machine for attaching labels to containers, having a transfer unit for transferring the labels to the container, the transfer unit being removably fixed at an operating position. In order to allow the labeler to be operated more easily and with less problems, the transfer unit is configured such that, for removal from its operating position, it can first be moved to a handling position.
